Thur:day.Aprl19, m4 SCARLET AND BLACK Page Eleven F by Jim Fish About twenty-five Grinnell College students trekked out to the Grinnell High School gym Monday night to see what could probably be called one of the most exciting, or at least most “starvstudded” basketball games of the 1963-64 season. The benefit game saw the Iowa All»Stars, led by Drake star McCoy McLemore down the Iowa Hawkeye seniors by a score of 81-68. The game was played before a crowd of about 400 spectators who were able to see some of the state's best basketball players in action. The contest, sponsored by the Grinnell Jaycees, was a money raising project for the Dr. Robert Norton Fund. Dr. Norton, son of Grinnell Professor Homer Norton, operates a hospital in the Me Kong Delta of Viet Nam, only a few miles from much of the guerrilla warfare. The Grinnell Chamber of Commerce, along with the Grin- nell Ministerial Association has undertaken this project to raise $7,500 to help pay for much needed equipment and slip» plies for Dr. Norton’s hospital. The lineup for the All-Stars included Grinnell‘s co-cap- tains Jim Mifflin and John Sundell, McLelnore, Billy Foster, and Ray Quinn (ex-Drake) of Drake University, and John Carle, former little All-American from Central College. Mif— flin and Sundell both were chosen to the All-Conference first team the Midwest Conference, and McLemore was named to the All-Conference first team this year in the tough Mis- souri Valley Conference. The lowa Hawkeye Seniors fielded a team consisting of Dave Roach, Joe Reddington, Paul Krause, Bill Skea, Terry Lyon, and John Raffensberger. All but Krause and Raffens— berger were members of this year‘s ‘University of Iowa has» ketball team. Raffensberger was a star at State College of Iowa several years ago, and Krause starred as a flanker back on Iowa’s football team, Krause was picked as second round draft choice by the Washington Redskins of the National Foot- ball League. - The main bit of excitement calne in the pregame drills as 6’9” Ray Quinn, decked out in red knee-high stockings and With red shoelaces in his white basketball shoes, dunked the ball a little too hard and broke the glass backboard. The game finally got underway after a half an hour delay to replace the backboard. The first half found the two teams fairly evenly matched, neither team hitting too well from the floor, and the half ended with the score at 34-34. _Early in the second half the Alletars took over the lead behind the hot shooting of McLemore and the long jump shots, and the fancy ball handling of Drake’s Billy Foster. The final gun sounded with the All-Stars well in front, 81-68. Baseball Team to Open Conference Season By Jack Harrod Desplte the return of his veteran pitching staff, Pioneer baseball coach John Pfitsch rests his hopes for the 1964 sea- son on the development of his crew of sophomores, five of whom were in the lineup for the season opener against Central College last Wednesday. The experienced mound corps is led by Denny Hanssen, one of the best hurlcrs in the con- iel'ence last year. Hanssen won only three of eight decisions in 1963 but compiled a fine L40 ERA While allowing just 36 hits in 64 innings on the mound. He also struck out 75. Another junior, Barry M. An derson, picked up the remain ing Grinnell win while losing three and recorded a 3.10 ERA. Cal Collier, one of only a handfull of seniors on the squad. is counted on to bounce back to the topilight form of his sophomore year. Last season Collier had his share of trouble and ended up 074. All three pitchers are Solid hitters and can also double in the outfield or at first base. Steve Tilly, the top thrower for the fresh last year, adds extra punch to the. pitching staff but will most likely be used at shortstop most of the season. Tilly rate as one of the top fielders on the club. At the other positions. veterr an Dick Ulrich gives Pfitsch a capable hand at second or third. Collier and Jim Jenks, last year’s leading hitters. pro- vide insurance at first. Pfitsch also can boast experienced bench Strength at third in Phil King and John McDonald. Rounding out the picture are the other sophomores. Nick Nonas is expected to take over the catching chores for the Pioneers, a spot that plagued them in l963. Juniors Don MC- Wethy and Vern Robinson will back up Nonas. In the outfield Dave Synhorst, John Shierholz and Barry R. Anderson are tabbed as likely regulars. All are fast but did not play last season and need to prove themselves at the plate. Anderson also provides a sure hand around third. Kris Nash, a good hitter, also seems likely to See a lot of action in the outfield. in the infield three other sophs are set for back-up roles. Steve Farber will see action at short if Tilly pitches and can hurl creditably himself. Mike Stollex‘ and Keith Zolla will back up the starters at third and first respectively. On April 8 in the nonsleague with the Dutchmen Ffitsch started a lineup of Hanssen pitching, Nonas catching. Col- lier at first, Ulrich at second, Tilly at shortstop, Barry R.

STAN DARD \llr give us a little something to go on next season.” Opening at the No. l spot will be Larry Shannon, who went undefeated in dual matches last year, playing in the No. 3 spot. Right behind him is Ken Cly- mer, who played in the No. 4 and 5 spots last year. Currently holding down the third position is Mike Green- field, a sophomore who played in the top spot for tl\e yearlings last year. Battling for the other three spots are Jon Schwartz, Dick Metzler, and Roger Abendroth. Schwartz and Metzler were on the team last year, but saw little action.

Besides Sellergren the likely regulars are Eric Miller, who tied for fourth in the confer- ence meet, and Russ Harder- who tied for sixth. The other spots are still open but the strongest challengers are Dave Baetz who was fourth man on the squad last year and Al Wheeler. the top freshman player last season. Ted Risser and Al Peterson are the other likely starters. Other members of the squad are Mike Miller, a junior, Jeri Kohlman and Tom Lane, both sophomores.
